Sheffield Steelers with Dave Simms

Dave Simms

Steelers’ head coach Doug Christiansen flies off to the NHL draft this weekend, to take in a coaching convention and meet a couple of people who may play a big part in the Steelers side next season.

As the other leading teams in the EIHL continue to make signings Christiansen is quietly confident that his policy of ‘wait and see’ is the right one. One target is another A grade offensive forward to accompany Legue, Dowd and Menei as Doug looks towards increasing the Steelers goal output.

I also understand that the position of assistant coach is nearing conclusion and should be announced before next week’s column.
